The demise of Home, London and how it relates to music today, page 1

Home, which was run by Darren Hughes. Anyway in 1999, it was the newest superclub in London and I believe it was in the expensive Leicester Square. Anyway, Oakenfold was the resident before he left because they got into trouble. They had a terrible time in the london council because they sent undercover cops in and saw people dealing  drugs and then cut the liquor license down. It went south, well if you add their brilliant compilation that sold 5000 copies by Jason Bye. Anyway it went out of business at some point.

Here is my point, towns, cities and the councils want to kill dance music and make it go away. They hate the fact that people can get together, listen to booming music and having a great night with friends and other like minded people dancing to some deejay playing choons. I have come to the conclusion that they want to kill dance music. If you look at Toronto, we had 30 + clubs in the downtown and big name deejays always showing up, now its 10 maybe (most sold out to condo developments). Our city pushed the sales for condos, in an attempt to kill dance music. The cops always think they are dealing massive amounts of drugs at clubs (which in reality, it was the bikers dealing drugs and the cops failed to stop them and blamed clubbers).

I'm really scared that they are trying to kill off dance music. Yes, some of it is shite and I do not want people listening to skrillex (tho the guy is dating jessie j...not bad for a weird ass, stupid boy) in my city but councils keep having bigger rules and more costs. Look at the portugal festival that was in the middle of nowhere because of the police and councils forcing them there.

so be careful people, the old bastards are trying to kill off us going to clubs and listening to dance music, so they can have their quiet society.
